As I sit here writing this post, the outside temperature is 32 deg. C. Sometimes the midday temperature could go as high as 35 deg. C. After having watered my plants in the garden, I will be staying indoor for the rest of the day.
The following photos were taken end of December last year (about 2 months ago) when the weather was much cooler then.
Early morning sky @ 7:15 am.
I dropped in at the plant nursery for some fertilizer and saw these pitchers.
Hanging pitchers from the potted plant.
First time getting to see one up close.

That evening we had a late dinner at one of our regular coffee shop.
We ordered a piece of chapati each.
We also ordered 10 sticks of chicken satay from a roadside stall in front of the coffee shop.
Once in a while we enjoy a late night dinner of chapati, satay and chilled unsweetened black coffee.

Sharing some photos of items found at the National Museum.
Foundation stone for pillar, discovered in the Bujang Valley, Kedah. These are believed to be used as foundation for wooden pillars in a Hindu-Buddhist temple between the 5th and 12th centuries AD.
A model of a Majapahit Bahtera ship. Majapahit was a famous imperial kingdom in the Malay world, based in modern Indonesia and founded in the late 13th century.

Since we have a Kingdom nothing can destroy,
let us please God by serving Him with thankful hearts
and with holy fear and awe.

Coffee so late, can sleep? The purple tablecloth at the coffeeshop looks so nice. Wonderful discoveries at the museum, do you visit the museum very often?
ReplyDeleteHubby has no problem with coffee at late hours. No, I don't often visit the National museum, the photos were taken during one of our visits.
DeleteI'm glad you can keep cool indoors. It's interesting to look at unusual plants closeup at the garden centre and visit the museum where you can see items on display and learn more about the ancient culture.
ReplyDeleteThank you, dear!
DeleteHola Nancy, preciosas fotos. Las plantas carnívoras me encantan y aquí se consiguen con facilidad, pero me resultan muy difíciles de cuidar. Buen día. Besos.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Lola! I too am not good with carnivorous plants or cactus.
DeleteI didn't realize that pitcher plants can be quite decorative!
ReplyDeleteI have seen them in my friends garden but I don't think I will know how to take care of the plants.
DeleteThat looks a simple dinner with chicken and pitchers are something first time reading the name of this unique plant! Lovely morning sky
ReplyDeleteThank you, Jeevan!
DeleteLove Indian food☺

Thank you, Francisco!
DeleteI don't blame you for keeping cool indoors. The chapatis and say look so tasty and it was a joy to see some of the artefacts from the museum.
ReplyDeleteWe still sweat even with the fan on full blast.
DeleteSatay looks tasty. I believe it is illegal to pluck pitcher plants from jungles and forest to grow them at home. How do garden centers grow them? From seeds?
ReplyDeleteI didn't know about the law or how it was grown for sale.
Deletepitchers look exciting...
ReplyDeletehave a great day
Thank you, Tanza.
DeleteThat Pitcher plant is amazing Nancy. Can anyone grow them, like me? The chicken looks scrumptious. See ya.

I don't know whether it is easy to grow the pitcher plant because I have tried it myself. Have a great day.
DeleteThe ship model is very interesting. I love the color of the first pitcher plant. I did not know you could make them into hanging plants!
ReplyDeleteI haven't tried growing pitcher plants.
DeleteWow on those pitcher plants. I've never seen one before today.
